Unlawful distribution of convict-made goods consists of any person knowingly distributing, exchanging, selling or offering for sale any goods, wares or merchandise manufactured, produced or mined, either wholly or in part, by prisoners held in lawful custody or confinement of any other state or country.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to forbid the sale or distribution of goods, wares or merchandise:
A. made by prisoners of this state;
B. made by prisoners on parole or probation; or
C. which are sold or exchanged to a qualified purchaser and where such goods are to be initially used or possessed solely by a qualified purchaser. As used in this subsection, "qualified purchaser" means a state agency, local public bodies, agencies of the federal government, tribal and pueblo governments, nonprofit organizations properly registered under state law and supported wholly or in part by funds derived from public taxation and persons, partnerships, corporations or associations which provide public school transportation services to a state agency or local public body pursuant to contract.
Whoever commits unlawful distribution of convict-made goods is guilty of a misdemeanor.
